Premier League
- Arsenal are hopeful of announcing the £52million double Signing of Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez in the next 24 hours, according to reports from Daily Mirror. The report states that the players have passed their medical and will be an Arsenal player before next Tuesday. Arsenal won their game vs Watford 3-1 and are hopeful of adding Mustafi and Perez to their squad before they head back with their countries to play in the upcoming international friendlies.
- West Ham have completed the signing of Juventus striker Simone Zaza on a season-long loan. Hammers have decided to pay £5million for Zaza’s signing this summer and will need to pay further £20m if they want to make his deal a permanent one next summer. Zaza could never cement his place in the Juventus lineup and was linked with Wolfsburg and Napoli earlier in the summer. The 25-year-old becomes West Ham’s 11th signing of the season.
- Manchester United are planning to make a £100million world record bid for Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale next summer, according to reports from Daily Express. United are prepared to break the transfer record for two consecutive seasons after they sign Paul Pogba earlier this summer in a reported 89m deal. Although Bale signed a new long-term contract with Madrid earlier this month but United will test La Liga side’s resolves with a massive £100m bid.
